    I've more or less grown accustomed to the uselessness of Fist Stances/Tackle Mastery at this point. It's there, it doesn't really come into play as much as perhaps it should, but eh. My short bit, which probably echoes some of what I've seen before:

    -Remove weaponskill recast time increase from Riddle of Fire, reduce damage bonus (maybe down to 10% or 15%) to compensate. The sudden drop in speed at GL3 makes our rotation feel incredibly clunky.
    -Apply full Brotherhood effect on MNK on using it - both damage bonus and personal Chakra proc chance. As it stands right now, MNK DPS is quite good - if you're in an 8-man with plenty of other physical jobs. In a 4-man with your other DPS being a caster though? Brotherhood then becomes a pretty pathetic excuse for what is supposed to be our Stormblood capstone ability. Damage bonus from RoF can be gauged to compensate for this change, since the two abilities share the same cooldown anyways.
    -Change Elixir Field to be an AoE use of our Chakra - the animation certain fills the bill of what makes a Chakra ki-energy ability, and will give us another use for Chakra stacks. In exchange, make Tornado Kick a free OGCD damage ability to take place of Elixir Field's former spot in our rotation.
    -Change One Ilm Punch to be usable regardless of stance, for ~160 potency, with a reactivation cooldown. That may it can both double as an on-demand stun if needed, as well as be introduced into the rotation as a positional-free 'filler' if we want to delay our rotation by a GCD for whatever reason (avoid clipping, can't access a face of the boss for a second or two, etc.)

    Of course, I don't actually think there's a snowball's chance in hell that SE will enact any of this, even if it's only intended to make the class more fun to play, rather than harder-hitting.
